I have

 - en/xdiff-cleanup topic that ends with cb1c89e5 (xdiff: treat
   xdfile_t.rchg like an enum, 2025-09-07);

 - en/xdiff-rust topic that
   - forks from v2.51.0
   - merges (with --no-ff) en/xdiff-cleanup
   - has the remaining patches rebased on the above merge

and 'seen' will have the first one and then the other one merged.
Later, let's merge the former to 'next' and 'master', with the
understanding that everybody is already happy with its contents and
we won't need to touch anything in that first-half of the topic
until we merge it down to 'master'.

The remainder hasn't been commented on very much (yet).  If you have
improvements, please do update these topmost 8 patches so that we
can replace the part of en/xdiff-rust above the merge.

Thanks.
